Interpal’s Back to School Campaign

Education has always been highly regarded by the Palestinian community and has been seen as a way to move beyond the refugee camps and the restrictions that Palestinians continue to face.

The environment for Palestinian children makes educational attainment difficult due to poor living conditions, frequent electricity cuts, lack of access to study resources and stress and trauma. The Palestinian population as a whole is very young. In the occupied territories, almost 50% of the population is under 18.

Here at Interpal, we support the right to education for all Palestinians by providing thousands of disadvantaged children and students with the means and resources to help them reach their full potential. Our “Back to school” campaign aims to make the journey into education easier and to ensure that displaced and refugee children have a chance at getting out of the poverty trap.

How are we helping?

– We provide school kits, uniforms and school fees for deprived and refugee children.

– We support educational institutions through providing generators and scientific equipment as well as building classrooms.

– We support schools through providing computers, buses, toys and extra-curricular support.

– We help university students pay their tuition fees.

– We support special needs education (including learning programmes for children with hearing impairments, running costs for specialist centres and support for Syrian refugee children).

This work is only made possible through the kindness and generosity of our donors. By contributing towards our “Back to School” campaign, you will help educating the generation of tomorrow and bring some hope and stability to the lives of refugee children.
